After sharing a body with her husband

Xie Zhaoqing went to meet the assassin, and Cheng Xingjian went to Yunhua to stake out, where they encountered Xiao Jing.

"Senior brother, still no results?"

Xie Zhaoqing poured Cheng Xingjian a cup of tea and asked.

Cheng Xingjian shook his head.

"I can't find out, but I guess it must be a property under the name of a high-ranking family in the capital. Only in this way can the background be concealed without any flaws."

"Junior sister, why are you so curious about the owner of Yunhua Inn?"

Cheng Xingjian was also quite curious about why she was curious.

"Is it because Yunhuajian stole your business? Since Yunhuajian opened, business has been quite good. There's even a saying: 'Yunhuajian has good drinks, exclusively for distinguished guests.' So, anyone of importance in the capital prefers Yunhuajian, even if it's a bit expensive."

Xie Zhaoqing's face was solemn.

"It's not just about stealing my business..."

She lowered her eyes to hide her frustration. Since she couldn't find out anything, there was no point in dwelling on it. "Forget it! We'll talk about it later!"

"By the way, senior brother, why do you think someone's personality would suddenly change so drastically? A few months ago, they were completely helpless and didn't know any martial arts, but suddenly they became highly skilled in martial arts. They couldn't ride a horse before, but suddenly they became an excellent horseman, even better than men?"

Xie Zhaoqing was equally puzzled by Shang Lingjun's unusual behavior.

"Are you talking about a man or a woman?" Cheng Xingjian asked.

"woman."

"A very delicate woman," Xie Zhaoqing added.

Cheng Xingjian thought for a moment and joked:

"Martial arts require years of basic training; it can't be mastered in just a few months. The same goes for horsemanship. If you're not hiding your abilities, then you must be possessed by a ghost!"

Cheng Xingjian's words were just a joke, but they made Xie Zhaoqing's brow twitch.

She seemed to be pondering, muttering to herself:

"It's definitely not a hidden ability..."

Doesn't she know Shang Lingjun? She's always been a stupid, nagging green tea b*tch.

Oh, right, she remembered something else.

Why hasn't the Xie family released any information about Xie Yan'an's recovery during this time?

Not only was it not announced, but there wasn't even a hint of it. This shouldn't be happening...

Xie Zhaoqing felt as if a thousand thoughts were tangled in her mind, but she couldn't come up with any clues, which made her head spin!

Seeing Xie Zhaoqing's troubled expression, Cheng Xingjian deliberately spoke in a lighthearted tone:

"Next month is the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, hosted by the Sixth Prince. Every year, the Lotus Appreciation Banquet and Poetry Gathering are grand affairs. The Sixth Prince will definitely invite our teacher and us disciples. Go and have some fun then, don't overthink it!"

Xie Zhaoqing smiled at him, "Okay, then senior brother, are you free this afternoon? Come with me to Honey Tea House."

It's just competition; she's not afraid.

Honey Tea House should also launch new products.

Xie Zhaoqing and Cheng Xingjian had just arrived at the entrance of Honey Tea House when they saw Xiao Jing blocking their way. His expression was not good, and his brows were furrowed with anxiety and resentment.

Xie Zhaoqing was chatting and laughing with Cheng Xingjian, but as soon as she saw Xiao Jing, her face fell. Ever since she "ran away from home," she had been deliberately avoiding Xiao Jing's search, just out of spite!

But seeing his anxious face, I felt a little uneasy.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, she still wouldn't go over and talk to Xiao Jing. She had been too proactive and cheap before, so she would just ignore him and let him know the consequences, to see if he would ever make her angry again.

"Senior brother, let's go to the restaurant to get something to eat first, and then we'll go to the shop after he leaves," Xie Zhaoqing said.

Cheng Xingjian had already seen Xiao Jing. Seeing that Xie Zhaoqing was unwilling to pay attention to him, the corners of his mouth curved up, and he said gently:

"Okay, what would you like to eat, Junior Sister?"

But before they even entered the restaurant, Xiao Jing keenly spotted Xie Zhaoqing's figure while looking around!

"Ah-Xuan! Is that you, Ah-Xuan!"

Xiao Jing immediately chased after him, grabbing Xie Zhaoqing's shoulder. His face lit up with joy upon seeing Xie Zhaoqing.

"It really is you, Ah-Xuan! I've been calling you, how come you didn't hear me? I've been looking for you everywhere these past few days, worried about your safety. Where have you been? Why haven't you come home?"

Xie Zhaoqing was still angry and didn't give him a friendly look.

"Let me go! That's your house, not mine, cousin."

She called her cousin in a cold and sarcastic tone.

Cheng Xingjian frowned slightly. "General Xiao, Ah Xuan asked you to release her."

Only then did Xiao Jing notice that there was another person beside Xie Zhaoqing, and his expression changed.

"Why is it you?"

Cheng Xingjian is a member of the Cheng family of the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion.

Xiao Jing's gaze darted back and forth between Xie Zhaoqing and Cheng Xingjian, his expression growing increasingly grim. He had been constantly worried about A-Xuan's safety these past few days, and had even gone to the Xie family to vent his anger on Shang Lingjun, only to be kicked out.

He regretted not noticing that Ah Xuan's unusual emotional state at the time.

But now, he saw Ah Xuan walking openly alongside another man, and Cheng Xingjian calling her Ah Xuan so affectionately.

Could it be that she's been fooling around with Cheng Xingjian all this time?

Xiao Jing could not bear such a humiliating disgrace. He immediately flew into a rage, his voice filled with fury:

"Did you abduct Ah Xuan during this time?"

Cheng Xingjian was not to be outdone.

"Ah Xuan has her own legs; she knows who treats her well. Besides, you're just her distant cousin; aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

Xiao Jing grabbed Cheng Xingjian by the collar and said fiercely:

"Say that again? I'm telling you, Ah Xuan is my woman!"

Cheng Xingjian, being a scholar, lacked the strength of Xiao Jing, a martial artist, and was immediately choked, struggling to breathe, his face turning red from the effort.

This terrified Xie Zhaoqing. She forcefully pushed Xiao Jing away, trying to stop him:

"Xiao Jing, what are you doing! Let go of my senior brother! Let him go right now!"

Xiao Jing looked at Xie Zhaoqing in disbelief, his face filled with hurt.

"Are you helping him but not me?"

"So what!" Xie Zhaoqing glared and said angrily.

The veins on Xiao Jing's forehead bulged as he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Ah Xuan, have you been running off with him all this time? Are you living together?"

As if in a fit of pique, Xie Zhaoqing scoffed.

"If you don't take me seriously, someone else will treat me well!"

Upon hearing this, what was there that Xiao Jing didn't understand?

The crimson turmoil in his eyes gradually subsided, leaving only self-mockery and disappointment. He gave a bitter laugh, released Cheng Xingjian without a word, turned and left, his back stiff and cold, without the slightest hesitation.

Xie Zhaoqing opened her mouth, a feeling of grievance welling up inside her.

What does he mean?

They're leaving already?

"Cough cough cough!"

Cheng Xingjian covered her throat, but didn't forget to comfort Xie Zhaoqing, "It's alright, junior sister, I'm fine. General Xiao's temper is really..."

Cheng Xingjian cleared his throat and said, "It's getting a bit heated."

He looked at Xie Zhaoqing.

"Junior sister, are you alright? You weren't hurt by him, were you?"

Xie Zhaoqing bit her lower lip, unable to hold back her grievances any longer, and threw herself into Cheng Xingjian's arms, sobbing.

"Senior brother..."

Cheng Xingjian naturally hugged Xie Zhaoqing tightly.

"It's alright, junior sister."

He smiled.
